Amsterdam: , c1640. Copper engraved double page map, had colored in outline, large colored cartouche, 34.7 x 48. 3 cm (13 3/4" x 19"). Latin text on verso. Some aging and toning, verso repairs along center fold, and a few other places, tear at crease in lower portion of map, lower margin partially replaced below neat line, which is defective in one place; despite defects, an attractive map with a nice impression. Jannson (1596-1664) was a Dutch mapmaker during the "golden age" of Dutch cartography. He started out as a publisher and bookseller, but when he married the daughter of another map maker, Jodocus Hondius, he got into that business. In 1633 he and his brother-in=law (Henry Hodicus) produced the two volume edition of the Mercator Atlas. The present map shows Mexico City and points west, and the west coast of Mexico shown from present day Tuxpan to Acapulco de Juarez. A large cartouche shows a lion holding a sword on the top of the royal shield of Spain, which is flanked by a man and woman in Greek style togas. Portinaro and Knirsch p.315.

London: Printed by the assignes of John Moore, 1640. [16], 64, 66-175, 175-238, 240-249, 245-287, [21]. With 21 terminal errata leaves. Contemporary vellum, title in manuscript to spine, boards ruled in red, all edges red. Light rubbing to extremities with minor surface loss, some staining. Armorial bookplate of Theodori Jackson Gualtioni to FEP, loss to gutter margin of title - just clipping imprint, but with no loss of sense, ink inscription to head of title, marginal damp-staining to preliminaries, foxed throughout, occasional spots of dust-soiling. First printed in 1533, in an edition described by the compiler of this edition Edmund Wingate (bap. 1596, d.1656) as 'quite worne out, and exceeding full of manifest Imperfections', Britton is the earliest English legal text composed in the French language, likely born of the desire of Edward I to produce a catalogue of English law after the manner of Justinian's Institutes. The treatise is traditionally attributed to John le Breton, Bishop of Hereford (d.1275), but is more probably derived in the main from the work of cleric Henry Le Bracton (c.1210-c.1268), De legibus et consuetudinibus Angliae. STC 3804.. Second edition. 12mo.
